Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has heaped praise on wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan, saying he is a “team player to the core”.

This comes after Rizwan fought valiantly on the second day of the second Test against England in Southampton, which was curtailed by rain and bad light.

Rizwan’s struck an unbeaten 60 under serious pressure, which came off 116 balls and included five boundaries. As a result of it, Pakistan finished on 223/9.

Credit to Rizwan to brave out England bowling attack on a bowling day and get Pak back on track. Not only did he play a good technical hand but a selfless hand too,refusing singles to shield the tail to farm the strike. A team player to the core 👏👏👏
